Discrete Axis (two speed)

This TwinCAT axis type (Two-Speed) enables the positioning of a so-called rapid/creep axis. Such an axis can be physically made up of a motor with two speeds (switching of the pole pair numbers), or alternatively by a motor that can be driven at two speeds with the help of a frequency inverter.

The TwinCAT axis type Two-Speed represents a special form of an axis. The following pages do not deal with this TwinCAT axis type in particular, but assume a Continuous axis or Encoder axis.

Detailed information for this special type can be found in the chapter Discrete Axis (two speed) under the special NC functionalities.
